Haute tension :
with works by Franco Bellucci
Artworks by Franco Belluci are currently on view at the Musée Art et Marges (Brussels) for the group exhibition HAUTE TENSION, until June 12, 2022.
This exhibition brings together five artists around the intensity of gesture, tension and density. With strokes, interlacing and knots, the works presented testify to the same urgency to create while revealing the inner worlds of their creators.
With works by Franco Bellucci, Heide De Bruyne, Eric Derochette, Cecile Franceus and Pol Jean.
A frequent participant to the Blu Cammello workshop in Livorno, Bellucci was first discovered by artist Riccardo Bargellini. The hybrid sculptures he produces are made up of heterogeneous objects whose fates are inexorably linked, observed sometimes through the prism of their transitional, fetishist or apotropaic value.
Present in the collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne (Pompidou) and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, his works have been shown in several major exhibitions, notably at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
“These works are endowed with a symbolic power that many ‘professional’ artists are incapable of achieving. “(P. Dagen, Le Monde)
